Easter

Easter is perhaps the church’s greatest opportunity to speak with confidence about the saving power of Jesus Christ. We know that those who have already had contact with the church through their own special occasion are happy to hear from us again. Targeted invitations and ideas for welcoming them into church over Holy Week can help us explain the life-changing meaning of Easter to even more people.

Ideas

Here are just a few suggestions to encourage your contacts to join in the Easter celebrations in church. We’d also love to hear what you have done in your parish. Follow this link to submit your idea.

This is a great opportunity to invite baptism families to come along with godparents to a special service, and to involve all those in the congregation who are godparents or godchildren too. Find resources here to help.
